Don't be a wuss, leave it open. It's not going to hurt a damn thing. Now if the wife threatens to never ride in your car again unless you close it, still leave it open. Keeps whiney chicks out.
well i still have my cats, and i caught a bunch of **** from my father when i bought this car, but once he saw and heard how my e-cut out worked everytime he rides in it he leaves it open and he loves the way it sounds...I got a big kick out of that! Anyway there seems to be an issue of having back pressure vs not. I've heard the LS1 likes some backpressure so should i just put the plate on and get a loudmouth??? THX!

My friend has had his cutout open for several months since he installed his headers. I think its only bad if cold air were to get back in the motor. If you have an electric cutout why would you have to cap it? Do you not have it hooked up?
